[Ensemble cast + saving the world + no romance + power progression + feel-good growth story]
Programmer Bai Wu cursed out her boss a little too harshly for making her work overtime, so the “Otherworld Bug Testing Department” forcibly hired her and dropped her into the cultivation world.
As soon as she landed, Fourth Senior Brother Ji Qianli mistook her for a brain-damaged mortal and coaxed her back to the Liangyi Sect. Then her spiritual-root test blew up the sect’s most treasured artifact.
Sect Master Li Qing slammed the table and declared, “A Chaos Dao Body! One in ten thousand years! She must receive our full attention!”
But because she was so talented, the sect master and elders fussed over her around the clock from every angle, setting off a chaotic life of cultivation.
Her hapless support squad:
The senior and junior brothers’ principles: When Bai Wu is in danger: “Who dares touch our Xiao Bai? You’ll have to go through me!”
When Bai Wu gets herself into trouble alone: “Fly high, Xiao Bai! You can deal with the mess yourself! We senior brothers are out of here!”
The girl she saved in the mortal world: “A-Wu, from now on, I’ll stay by your side.”
People from other sects: “Enough already, Bai Wu, you bandit!”
Bai Wu: “Hey, hey, hey! Thanks, buddy, for your concern and for missing me.”
Then the Law of Withering descended. The sect’s spirit spring began to stink, and Master’s tea could no longer be brewed to perfection.
Bai Wu looked at the light dancing in her palm, then at the hapless companions behind her, who cursed her even as they drew their swords for her.
She suddenly smiled.
Fine.
She’d do this lousy job, all right.
Not only would she work until retirement, she’d take this bunch along and get the company listed on the stock exchange!
